The Ed Sias Cross Country Invitational (ESI), hosted
by Campolindo & College Park High Schools, has been successfully
kicking off the prep Cross Country season in the East Bay for twenty-nine
years! Hidden Valley Parks winding trails & varying terrain
create the most popular racing venue in the area. In addition to
being the official ESI course, the park has been the site for the
Tri-County Athletic League Championships, the Diablo-Foothill Athletic
League Championships, the North Coast Section Championships, &
the Golden Gate Conference Jr. College Championships.

GREAT COMPETITION: ESI annually attracts the highest level
of competition from Northern California and beyond.

The course is mostly dirt trail, with some paved pathways and a natural grass start and finish. The bridge crossing and finale hill remain unique features of the event!

We look forward to your participation in ESI 2015.

Sincerely,

Chuck Woolridge
ESI Meet Director

RESTROOMS: Hidden Valley Park is equipped with restroom facilities at the start

ranges from moderately hilly to flat, with dirt, woodchip, and paved

to accommodate races of over one hundred competitors. It is an excellent
